On the basis of application, the market can be segmented into confectionery, infant formula, beverages, bakery, feed, and dairy. One of the most lucrative applications of demineralized whey powder ingredients is the production of infant and baby formula. Demineralized whey is known to be a close substitute of breast milk as far as the proportion of protein, lactose, and key minerals is concerned. The growing demand for infant formula and the high birth rates around the world have contributed significantly toward the development of the demineralized whey powder ingredient market.
